Features : No Opinion
This bass has a split coil and a single coil pickups taht are both emgs which is nce theres two volume controls and a master tone pot as well its quite heavy but as a result is virtually indestructible i have dropped this thing so many times which is bad thing cos its not mine its my girlfriends! its got a rosewood fingerboard and a maple neck (laminated) and headstock not sure about the body iys probably basswood or mdf! its sounds great though

Sound : No Opinion
im using a cruisewr by crafter 20 watt combo at home and trace elliots and marshalls at college with it and the quality shines through all of them. for the money its amazing no fret buzz either

Action, Fit, & Finish : No Opinion
dunno about initial sety up but my girlfriend says it was nice enough although the guy at the shop haad a go at it first before he sold it set up the action and stuff. Pegs are fine stays in tune pickups dont move about no harwaee flaws i could find all is good.

Reliability/Durability : No Opinion
i have used it live 4 times and it hasnt let me down at all its fine i feel no need for a back up at all just some strings even then they neverseem to break the finish is a bit thin but i did dent it hard strap buttons arer solid and the pups are quality one of the volume knobs fell off though i dont think it was glued on well but i soon fixed that

Customer Support : No Opinion
havnt dealt with them but i dont think it would be easy

Overall Rating : No Opinion
ITs really good i dont have any other basses but i have played fengers and epiphones and yamahas and its very close in quality and sound mainly due i think to the pickups and overall build quality if it was stolen i'd probably buy something different just for a change tho as it is very good

Bought this as a practice bass to use with my bedroom amp. Cheap, durable, 22-fret bass. Jazz styled body and finish (sunburst with blk plate). 2 knobs: volume and tone.
Overall, a nice, clean setup, works a treat with mesa/marshal setup.

Came free with bag, leads (x2) and a strap (needed tighter one)

Sound : 9
Great rich sound, esp with right amp. Suits most styles; i'm into heavy metal, punk, hardcore, anything really.
Liked the simple volume and tone knobs: no fancy stuff (let the amp do that)

Action, Fit, & Finish : 7
Good quality sunburst finish. Single pickups, perfectly placed for my playing.

Only prob is the G string. Humbucker a bit loose. The o'l blutack trick fixed that though..

Reliability/Durability : 7
NOT a live playing bass, unless you want to stand there not moving much at all. Advantage to heaviness is it will last a long time.
I play about 2 hours a day, 5 on weekends. Only tuned it thrice since ive got it. (2 months ago).

Straps come off too easily. needed to buy really tight ones.

Customer Support : 6
2 year i think... not sure.

Overall Rating : 8
Great beginner and/or practice bass. NOT a live gig bass. Its not my Fender 6-string, but it ain't that bad either.

This is my first bass n it gets a 9 out of 10.....its only fault is the that its really top heavy, I've onl been playin Bass about 2 months, this is a good guitar for a learner as its really simple to play and the price is low...its one of hte cheapest i could find, it was cheap but the quality is fantastic. I would advise any begginer to get This guitar to practise on because i think thats probly all it could be used for as its so heavy.

Sound : 8
The sound is excellent quality and with the right Fx n amp this could be afantastic
Im into heavy rock so when my mum came home with a jazz bass i was a lil WTF!but it works really nice for all kinds of music as i listen to everythin from will young to cradle of filth

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
this bass as far as i can see is perfect...although i aint an expert so just get one n make your own mind up but i dont have any faults with it(yet)

Reliability/Durability : 7
i think it could be good for live playing apart from the weight...if you strong then it would be no problem as the look of the bass is gorgeous...upto now its been really dependable and hasnt let me down, althoguh id advise a good strp as mine keep coming of which is really annoying

Customer Support : No Opinion
i think its a 5 year warranty but it was a present so i dont no much more about it sorry!

Overall Rating : 9
i've been playing about 2 months and this is my first guitar although i have lent/borrowed friends....I would deffo go for this style of guitar again for the price and the style. At school there is this really bad bass that ive been learning on and compared to that this guitar is an angel
